| By the system I was raised | 
| Same system that enslaved us and took us all away | 
| Same same system I was trained to put my hands across my heart and pledge | 
| allegiance to the grave | 
| The same system that made me sing the national anthem | 
| While the fucking flag hanged | 
| The same system that’ll claim innocent lives | 
| Barack ain’t made shit change | 
| Nigga fuck this shit, I won’t budge! | 
| Shit, I won’t budge | 
| They say Rosa Parks was sitting on the wrong bus | 
| And now that Malcolm X is gone, I guess it’s on us | 
| Fuck a cop, they gon' kill us then they charge us | 
| They gon' charge us | 
| Pull that fucking badge out and say it’s all love | 
| But I got six warning shots to my heart, lungs, face, neck, cough blood | 
| Now they say we all thugs | 
| I guess we all thugs | 
| Ever since the Watts Riots, motherfuckers wanna try us | 
| Everything was all quiet til they crossed us | 
| Al Sharpton keep on talking, nigga do something! | 
| Nigga prove something | 
| So much drama, I just got the fucking goosebumps | 
| Word down to Ferguson, they murderin' the youth young | 
| What the fuck is new, son | 
| This shit gon' make me lose some’n | 
| This a war we won’t back down | 
| Fuck this country, we ain’t treated fair | 
| I should burn the fucking flag down | 
| Yeah, I should burn the fucking flag down | 
| But your victims lash out, they have no clue | 
| But if I protest, a nigga’ll put me in a stretcher | 
| Gun me down with my hands up screamin' «DON'T SHOOT!» | 
| Motherfucker, don’t shoot! | 
| By the system I was raised | 
| Same system that just killed Mike Brown the other day | 
| Same system that just slayed Sean Bell, Trayvon, Eric Garner, what a shame! | 
| The same system that gon' lie just to cover up the crime, quick to send us to | 
| the grave | 
| The same system that’ll claim innocent lives | 
| Barack ain’t made shit change | 
| Nigga, fuck this shit, I won’t budge! | 
| Shit, I won’t budge | 
| They say Emmitt Till whistled at the wrong slut | 
| And now that Martin Luther gone, I guess it’s on us | 
| Fuck the cops, they gon' kill us then they charge us | 
| They gon' charge us | 
| Pull that fucking badge out, leave a nigga passed out | 
| CLAP PLOW twenty shots to my heart, lungs, face, neck, cough blood | 
| All they do is cross us | 
| Living in the projects, and we all thugs | 
| Now they searchin' through my pockets | 
| Wanna treat me like a hostage | 
| Tryna get inside my conscious like a broad does | 
| If they catch me lookin' wrong, I’m a rebel though | 
| If I got my hoodie on, I’m a criminal | 
| If I got my hands up, that means I probably got a weapon | 
| If they kill me, then I guess that means that it was an exception | 
| This a war we won’t back down | 
| And tell the government to kiss my ass | 
| I should burn the fucking flag down | 
| Yeah, I should burn the fucking flag down | 
| We were forced to surrender, they have no clue | 
| But if I protest, a nigga’ll put me in a stretcher | 
| Gun me down with my hands up screamin' «DON'T SHOOT!» | 
| Motherfucker, don’t shoot! |
